Lets's calculate LCM of 271,3163
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 857173
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/857173
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1297/271,3788/3163 is 1/857173
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 271,3163 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(271,3163) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(271,3163) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(271,3163) = ( 271 × 3163 ) / 1
LCM(271,3163) = 857173 / 1
LCM(271,3163) = 857173
